About Us

We are warriors, archers, cooks, weavers, blacksmiths, leather workers, entertainers and so much more!


The Wryngwyrm, Jormungandr, the World serpent, and son of Loki, was thrown into the ocean by Odin, where he grew so big that he circled the world and grasped his own tail. He is to be killed by (and to kill) Thor at Ragnorak. 

The Wryngwyrm

Meet the Wryms!
